The Countdown BEGINS!

Ok..so not doing so well on keeping up here, but I am so incredibly busy! I am going to hire an assistant, so then hopefully that will free up some of my time to get stuff done!

So..I took 5 days off from workouts and then another 5 days of light workouts and now I’m back to work.

I am now doing the workouts from the NROL For Women. I started them last week and they are working me pretty good. The only thing that I am worried about is the heavy lower body lifting. I would LOVE to go heavy for my lower body, but my back won’t allow it. I was seeing some serious results before taking the time off, so I am so ready to kick ass and get some more great results. I am not sure if it was the workouts or the Hot Rox or both, so will be interesting to see.

I have really cut down on my carbs and think that might be a good thing. On my time off, I ate MANY carbs..lol…and could see where it all went..my thighs and butt. :0( But at least I know that now and I am working in those starchy carbs around my workouts or just in the mornings after hard workouts.

Pictures are in April, so I still have a little over 2 months to look amazing…and I’m so ready to do it! After that, its time to get pregnant, so have to look good just in case I am unable to have this body after a baby! lol

This morning, before training, I saw we had some Nerds candy that had been in a lunchable that my husband had eaten. I decided to take a handful..thinking the sugar would help with my workouts. Boy! I sure felt a difference and for a person who never eats sugar, just that little bit had the same affect on me as a cup of caffeine! Plus, I didn’t get the after workouts ’slump’ that I usually get, even on the way home from my workouts. So Nerds…might have to invest in some more! LOL. Unless anyone has any other ideas, I’m definitely up for it! I loved the way I felt today….so nice to come home after a workout and not want to crawl back into bed!
Training is going great, eats are going pretty good too. I have been taking the Hot Rox Extreme, only 1, 2x per day. I think I’m finally starting to feel the benefits. Not only does it give me some good energy, my body just feels harder….! YEA!

Hoping to find the time to take some measurements and body fat this weekend. Been a while, but I wasn’t seeing any changes, it was frustrating taking them.

Ok..so I NEED to make this a priority…the bloggin! If only there were like 4 more hours in a day I would be fine! Ok..so I need to take pictures for my website and I have give myself 2 months to make some MAJOR changes in my body. I ordered some Hot Rox Extreme and plan to take them for the next 2 months, I have BCAAS, glutamine, creatine and whey. I just started a 4 day workout routine, so far pretty rough. My upper body has continuous DOMS, but its all good. I plan to do bodyweight cardio after my strength for 10 minutes and on off days, 20-30 min of cardio, either elliptical or treadmill.

Now for the nutrition part…ugh! Thats where I struggle..not so much that I don’t eat healthy, just finding what is going to work for my body. So I am going to try and conjure up some calorie and carb cycling routine. I have been trying to find some guidelines, and plan to put together some meal plans this weekend.

Here are my ‘resolutions’ I guess you could say:

1. Post on bb.com every day!!

2. Get in all workouts everyweek (no problem, cuz I LOVE working out-best part of my day)

3. Write up some affirmations and post in bathroom to read every morning to keep my goals in check

4. Get this nutrition thing DOWN !

5. Try to schedule my weeks, making time for ME….I need some recovery time from LIFE!
